Bourg Barn and Farmhouse, Bourg de Visa, Nr. Agen, South West France
Character Properties Sleeping 18 in total
Detached Farmhouse (one level) 3 Bedrooms Sleeps 6/8 People
Detached Barn 4 Bedrooms, Sleeps 10

The houses are on the outskirts of the village of Bourg de Visa, about 30mins drive from Agen deep in the heart of fruit-growing and sunflower country. Because we are almost as far south as the Mediterranean coast, the climate is noticeably and reliably warmer than the UK.
All you’re likely to need on a day-to-day basis is available a few minutes’ walk away in the village: Spar supermarket, restaurant, bar, tabac (English newspapers to order) boulangerie, chemist, post office, bank.
There is a farmers’ market on Sunday mornings, May to September (as there is in most of the surrounding towns and villages). You can get information on local boules at the village piste from restaurant Chez Maria, book tennis on the floodlit court at the chemist and buy fishing licenses from Guy Lacombe at the garage. The surrounding countryside offers unlimited scope for walkers and cyclists and you are well placed for canoeing with the Lot and Garonne nearby. Details of horse riding and other seasonal activities can be found at the very helpful village tourist office.
The area can be generally described as a series of interlocking broad valleys and hillsides topped with ancient ‘bastide’ towns and villages. Each has its own charm and supply of cafes/restaurants and is worth investigation. For serious shopping, promenading and eating out, the larger market town of Moissac is about 20 minutes’ drive towards Toulouse and the university town of Agen 30 minutes in the direction of Bordeaux. Between them they offer every facility and diversion you might require; as an extension of that thought the Chateaux, Caves and and vineyards of Buzet and Cahors are about an hour away. It is just about manageable to make a long day trip to the coast at Arcachon or even south to the Med at Narbonne, but an overnight stay makes the experience more worthwhile.
